Title: Brandon mentioned by Robin McKinley
Post by: RedAragorn on March 18, 2008, 08:50:56 PM
I have to admit that my sister forwarded me the link, and she doesn't get his name right, but did anyone else catch Brandon's mention on Robin McKinley's blog?

"In the YA department, I recently read Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians, but Brian Sanderson. I really don't know how to desribe it other than hilarious and wonderful. If you haven't read it, go read it now. You won't be disappointed. "

Any news is good news, right?

Huh. She seems to be quoting someone, but I'm not sure who.

She's quoting people who've left her comments on her blog. Other people mentioned Mistborn and Elantris, too. (She recently asked people to recommend good books they've read, then she copied and pasted a lot of the responses into an actual post.)

That's good.  Should someone mention to her that she got Brandon's name wrong?  I'm sure she'll correct it.

Aw, too bad it wasn't Robin herself.  Maybe I should email her and mention that The Blue Sword is an old favorite of both myself and my wife.  Actually, Pemberly required that I read it through again before our wedding, just to make sure.  ;)

That book is awesome.  Have you guys read "The Hero and the Crown"?  It's what-her-bucket red head's story.  Though my long standing favorite by her would definatly have to be "Beauty".  I actually went throug this huge effort to get the old cover because I hate all the new ones.
